Hi,
openSUSE MicroOS does not install documentation by default, so I was
looking for a way to provide the manual pages to end users and rememberd
the good old "docs.sun.com" idea of having a central documentation
server providing this online.
There are already similar services by other distributions:
https://manpages.debian.org/
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/
https://man.archlinux.org/
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
https://man.openbsd.org/
and many more.
Since we wanted this for SLE Micro, too, I developed a tool to extract
and convert the manual pages from RPMs and build a more or less static
webpage from it.
If you have access to the SUSE internal developer network, you can look
at the prototype: http://dhcp216.future.suse.de/
If not, you can use the container for openSUSE MicroOS:
podman run -it --rm --name docserv -p 80:80 -p 443:443 opensuse/microos-docserv
since many people think this would make sense for openSUSE in general,
we need a machine to run nginx and the docserv daemon to serve this.
Idea would be https://manpages.opensuse.org
The data beside the installation are currently 2GB, but if we want to
add Leap and others later, we need more disk space for this.
And we need a certificate for the nginx webserver.
How can I get this?
Thanks,
Thorsten
